Fluids :- The amount of fluids allowed usually depends on the urinary output and the body's need. Fluid allowance is different for each individual and has to be decided by the physician depending on the patients condition. Fluid intake and urinary output should be carefully recorded. Fluids include water, milk, curds, tea, coffee, sambhar, rasam and any other liquid food consumed.

Other minerals and vitamins :- If a patient has abnormal levels of phosphate and calcium, phosphate intake should be restricted to prevent or slow down the imbalance between calcium and phosphorus in the blood. Since most of the food contain phosphorus, a phosphate binder is used to prevent its absorption. B-complex vitamins are beneficial and are generally supplemented along with vitamin C and iron.
